Royal Autopsy (2023–…)

Royal Autopsy investigates the cause of death of two of Britain's most famous monarchs: Queen Elizabeth I and King Charles II, in an entirely new and realistic way.

Professor Alice Roberts will bring together a blend of historical and medical expertise and by using contemporaneous accounts and documents piece together how and why these monarchs died.

Each investigation follows an autopsy conducted by Home Office pathologist Dr. Brett Lockyer which will use a unique combination of prosthetic bodies, actors, and ethically sourced animal organs to reveal how each of the monarchs perished.
